If we don't have enough, we don't do it...it helps us to be guided that way. I don't think all should live this way, if not convicted, but I do think that those who don't miss out on an exciting faith building adventure....and it seems that they would learn to have faith in themselves more than God...I came out for 5 years as a single missionary also and lived this kind of life...and I think I usually had more money than the girls who got the same amount every month...so have not experienced any of the stories you have told. So I would just like to encourage anyone reading this, that that is not always the case. My Dad used to say, "if God doesn't provide for us here, its time to go home"...I think God is able to provide above and beyond...without a word from us..except to Him!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933985401860924558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8929451821095545097.post-67961335510672715222011-02-07T08:50:38.214-08:002011-02-07T08:50:38.214-08:00Thank you for posting this article, Trevor!

Many times I have been too naive in depending on God with knee and folding hands alone. Again, thank you, for this "balancing" advice between relying on God totally and discussing needed-funds with other believers.danieladhisuryahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09121540747985737987noreply@blogger.com
